How to make a USB scanner networkable?

Question

network hardware

A classic hat - the Ricoh SP 202 MFP with ethernet is actually a network printer, but not a scanner.
I tried https://sourceforge.net/projects/nttwain/, but my server does not start on Win10, apparently, years ago. There are some other xs solutions from 899 rubles to 149 dollars, I don’t want to switch to them.

Plan B - connect the front port of the MFP with a USB-A / USB-A wire, mount the folder as a FAT32 flash drive and type scan to a USB flash drive from the MFP. Rested on the fact that I do not have such a wire.

Plan C - some kind of USB print server from TPlink, xs, will it be a scanner server.

More options? Stupid same problem, is there really no solution?

up. The MFP can only network on SMBv1, so this is not an option. It can also be sent to mail and FTP, but I would not want to send scans over the Internet or set up an FTP server for such nonsense.

Answer 1

I bought a USB-to-IP server from TPlink, it works, but I have to connect the device in its client every time. In fact, with a mouse click, we emulate the poking of a USB wire from a computer to a computer. I wonder if other print servers work this way too?

Answer 2

BlindScannerPro - network scan server for USB scanners

Answer 3

Scan with software from the printer kit!!! If he
can both the PC and the MFP will wait for "INPUT" (and this cable is in the forehead computer store, it costs a penny)
Use the MFP function - scan to a network folder or wherever it can ...

Answer 4

As already advised above - Blind Scanner.
On a PC with a scanner, install the Server part (you can also mark it as a service), then you don’t even need to log in.
On all other PCs, install the Client part. In the settings, specify the network name of the PC or IP.
Below is the scanner selection box. Well, a couple more settings.
The activation server does not require. Client - requires.
Yuzaem in the office. Very simple and easy solution.

Answer 5

It makes no sense to do a network scanner.
When you scan, who will insert documents there for scanning
